The article analyzes the transformation of the methodological toolkit for teaching humanities and sciences in the Russian Federation. The method of case study, being widely spread in modern higher education research, is used as an example to illustrate the attempts to implement the best practices of foreign educational technology into tertiary academic process in Russia. The authors provide some historical aspects of introducing case studies in modern teaching practice. The article features peculiarities of the Soviet approach to the structure of cases. Content analysis helps to identify similarities and differences in Soviet/post-Soviet approaches to case study construction and brings into focus the problem points which reveal misinterpretation and/or misuse of didactic materials designated as cases. The approach suggested in the article implies presenting the content of a case study as a collection of documents related to a certain topic. The case study "Istanbul in the life and work of the artist Martiros Saryan" demonstrates that a case can have invariable and variable parts to reflect the specificity of the didactic task within the discipline. Such approach is expected to support students' cognitive activity, develop creativity in searching additional sources and missing materials, improve efficiency of students' autonomous work on solving complex problem solution.

The article is devoted to the problem of carrying out distinctions between hostility, dislike and aggression which have a considerable variety of forms of behavior among the population of various typological groups in the conditions of geopolitical changes. Special attention is paid to the questions connected with the peculiarity of approaches and the degree of readiness of this perspective within various scientific traditions. Particulars of representation of concepts are analyzed in the historical and chronological, scientometric and conceptual plan.The qualitative originality of the interpretation of concepts in the approaches of the representatives of the leading scientific schools exerting the impact on modern research of this phenomenon taking into account the changing geopolitical conditions is shown.

The article analyzes gamification techniques that can be used to overcome the deficits in the education of schoolchildren (primary school) in relation to aquaculture. It is shown that the modern content of teaching on the subject "World around" for elementary school does not allow to form ideas about aquatic organisms and their cultivation on farms. To fill the deficits, it is proposed to use the potential of computer games. Computer games developed in Arab countries and the Russian game "Aqua Farm" are analyzed. It is concluded that gamification increases knowledge about aquaculture.

The article discusses the question of what precedes the theoretical formulation of new pedagogical conceptualizations. It is shown that new directions in the development of pedagogical knowledge can appear in accordance with the emerging needs of educational practice. To clarify the question of what structural components of pedagogical theory and in what form are formed at the pre-theoretical stage, as an example, a new conceptualization of “hip-pedagogics” is considered, which solves the problems of rehabilitation and correction. The hypothesis is tested that the direction of Internet search queries in the special Google Trends resource characterizes the features of this stage in the development of theoretical conceptualization, which is reflected in the frequency of the choice of the search query and the features of the lexical form of its representation. It is concluded that the emergence of new conceptualizations is associated, among other things, with the extrapolation of the results obtained on one object of the model to another, which can potentially contain similar characteristics and/or perform similar functions.

In this article the following notions are characterized: the concept, structural and substantive features of the professional standard "Consultant in the development of digital competence of the population (Digital tutor)," which regulates the activities of representatives of a new breakthrough profession in ensuring digital literacy of the population. It was pointed that the development and implementation of this professional standard meets the requirements of time and the need of the population to use information and communication technologies in the transition to the fifth technological order, for which the competencies of the digital economy are urgently needed. Based on the interpretation of the results of the content analytical study, it was proved that the professional standard is focused on two groups of competencies – IT (Information technology) and pedagogical. They are presented in three clusters: "Labor actions," "Necessary skills" and "Necessary knowledge." The content of these clusters determines the training requirements for future specialists. There is a bias towards the requirements for information technology training to the detriment of pedagogical training, despite the fact that the pedagogical activity aiming to educate the population of various typological groups should dominate. A loss of logical sequence was established when designing the content of the pedagogical unit, the lack of accounting for the initial level of pedagogical awareness at the stage of selecting potential tutors. Thematic gaps were identified in determining the content of pedagogical training between the requirements for specialists of the third and fifth qualification groups.

The article discusses the latest trends in the field of presentation of natural science information for students, which have developed in the postmodern era. It is shown that botanical illustrations presented in postmodern alphabets do not reflect the morphological features of plants. When depicting plants, the author uses the technique of deconstructing images presented in ancient botanical atlases. Fragments of botanical illustrations are placed against the background of everyday scenes of the 19th century, including those of a fantasy nature. The structural components of the botanical educational book, its content and ironic author's comments are considered. The description of plants is pseudo-academic: the texts are surreal, they combine fiction and truth, fantasy and the specifics of the action. It is concluded that the irony of the comments does not contribute to the formation of the foundations of the natural science worldview.

The aim of the article is to analyze the models of the joint consumption economy from the point of view of finding the applicability of such models in the agro-industrial sector of the economy as tools to increase its efficiency and competitiveness. The authors have described the models of joint consumption economy based on the analysis of the differences between the definitions of “joint consumption economy" and "sharing economy» in the works of researchers. Authors allocate the assets-based, service and financial models of joint consumption economy. The study shows that in the Russian agro-industrial sector there are certain reserves for increasing its efficiency and competitiveness while creating the favorable conditions by State for the continuation of the implementation of the models of joint consumption economy in the near future. These conditions should become the object of further research, as well as the choice of the most appropriate business models for the domestic agro-industrial sector.

The article raises the problem of using the educational potential of virtual museums. It is noted that virtual museums are a new organizational form of the modern system of informal education. Thanks to the availability and openness of museum funds, it becomes possible to acquaint young people with the artifacts of culture and social life. The exposition fund of the virtual museum of bookmarks created in Germany is analyzed. The thematic field “sport” is chosen as the object of research. Based on content analysis, the frequency of manifestation of this concept is revealed. On the basis of cluster analysis, the belonging of the exhibits to various sections of the virtual museum is established. It is concluded that sport is presented as a subject of three clusters 1) financial savings for sports, 2) advertising lifestyle and sporting goods and 3) world-class sporting events. The assessment of the peculiarities of presentation of the content of bookmarks on the subject of sports creolized texts is given.

The article discusses the problems of using archival materials and old editions in order to familiarize themselves with the history and culture of individual countries. Using the example of the practice of postmodern technology for digitizing non-academic historical documents by German authors, it is shown that they constitute a significant resource for expanding knowledge in the field of cultural studies, educational history, historical geography due to the presence of a text array and visual range. Visual imagery includes a wide range of artifacts, including national and military clothing, national symbols, historical geopolitical maps. Digitized editions of the 18th and 19th centuries, devoted to the problems of the history and culture of the Armenian people, being descriptive material, make a great contribution to the formation of a new scientific direction in Armenology. They allow you to get acquainted with authentic historical documents containing information about the geopolitical, historical, social, cultural, philosophical and pedagogical problems of the Caucasus in the 18th century. and XIX centuries. The article shows that subsequent scientific research on the problems of the history of the peoples of the Caucasus did not become widely known due to the lack of available digitalized historical sources containing the works of both Armenian and foreign authors.

The article is devoted to the assessment of the impact of the digital technological platforms on the higher education in the new conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic. The modern literature presents the various approaches to the analysis of the current situation in the higher education. The novelty of the authors ’ approach is that the institutional system of the higher education is analyzed from the standpoint of the theories of new institutionalism. The authors considered the institutional system of the higher education as a four-level system. The article presents assessing the impact of the digital technological platforms on the first level of the institutional system of the higher education, which is represented by deeply rooted informal institutions (values, traditions, customs, unwritten norms and rules, and more). Assessing the impact of the digital technological platforms on other levels of the institutional system of the higher education requires the additional prospective research.

The parameters of the equivalent central dipole calculated using hourly values of the magnetic field elements during 2011: the angular elements transformed to the hourly values of the geographic coordinates of the North magnetic pole and the intensity values transformed to local magnetic constant. Next step is the calculation of the daily mean values at every hour. This method applied to both current digital data and historical data presented as monthly tables of hourly values. The advantage of method is its ability to show the changes of the magnetic field independently from daily variation. Using of the “integrate” parameters (the magnetic pole coordinates and local magneto constant) allows detect the regional features of its variations. The features in the daily values compared with anomalous geological and geophysical events observed in the past and predicted in the near future.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the history of the formation of agricultural education in Russia. On the basis of the analysis of historical data, documents on creation of educational institutions and statistical data dynamics of emergence of new agricultural lowest schools, secondary schools, academies and institutes is established. It is shown that the first agricultural institutions were established in the 18th century with the participation of the great Russian scientist M. Lomonosov with the support of the Emperor. The first agricultural schools used foreign experience. A total of three agricultural schools were established. However, in the future there was a transition to training without the participation of foreigners. An analysis of the development of the education system in the 19th century found that the institutional structure changed significantly towards the emergence of institutions and academies. Model farms, model estates and new training areas have appeared personnel for horticulture, agronomists, beekeepers, horse breeders, etc. Private initiatives have facilitated the opening of new specialties. The state opened new specialized academies and faculties in polytechnic institutes. It is shown that traditions of improving the institutional system of training of personnel persist in modernRussia.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the current state of the theory of pedagogy, which is moving to a new stage of its development - the stage of postmodernity. On the example of the analysis of textbooks on pedagogy published in modern Germany, the author examines the characteristic features of postmodern pedagogy. Based on the content analysis, the representation of postmodern problems in textbooks is established, a classification of the approaches of the authors of textbooks to the reflection of this topic in different parts of the didactic apparatus of textbooks is carried out. Three leading directions, which are the pedagogical projection of the ideas of postmodernism, are characterized in detail. These include: clarification of the conceptual differences between modernity and postmodernity and their pedagogical projections; ideas that contain criticism of metanarrations; the issue of human identity in the era of pluralism of ideas and forms of their objectification. The conclusion is made about the weakening of theorists' attention to postmodernism problems, while postmodernism practices tend to spread.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the organization of the educational process in Russian universities. The object of the research is the experience of implementing e-education and the transition to distance technologies for continuing education of Chinese undergraduates in the Russian metropolitan university. Russian universities had the technical capabilities and used various electronic educational platforms. In the same time, the results of the survey showed a decrease in the satisfaction of Chinese full-time students when switching to distance learning. The study shows the significant factors that had a negative impact on the educational process using distance technology to teach Chinese undergraduates during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors have grouped these factors into five groups (technical, language, emotional, and financial, content of lecture). Identification of these factors made it possible to develop a program to improve the educational process and enhance the satisfaction of foreign students studying at Russian universities.

The article analyzes the state and level of theoretical elaboration of the issues of pedagogy of the postmodern era in the Russian scientific literature. Based on the analysis of the content of publications posted in the Russian leading bibliographic resource - bibliographic database of scientific publications “The Russian Science Citation Index» – the ratio of publications devoted to the problems of postmodernism in non-pedagogical and pedagogical discourse is revealed. There are established the main clusters, which include publications on general problems of postmodern pedagogy, problems of meta-postmodern pedagogy and anti-pedagogy. The interpretive approach allows us to prove that in Russian pedagogy, critical and analytical consideration of foreign pedagogical arrays dominates. At the same time, there are first attempts to determine the author's position on the creation of Russian postmodern pedagogy, which at present is not completely methodologically entrusted. The arguments used by the authors to substantiate postmodern pedagogy are very exotic and fully correspond to the principle “Anything goes”, which is a methodologically regulating postmodern pedagogy.

The article analyzes certain aspects of the representation of modern scientific, educational and organizational discourse, characterizing the state of research in the field of theory and practice of bilingualism. It is emphasized that the problem of cultivating bilingualism has acquired particular relevance in modern China, which pursues a policy of active use of national languages in regions and administrative units inhabited by representatives of other, non-Han, ethnic groups. Based on the content analysis, the activity of foreign researchers of the problems of bilingualism and trilingualism in China has been established. Three thematic clusters are identified and characterized, within which modern research is carried out and the policy of bilingualism in China is implemented.

The article discusses approaches to the creation of non-standard training tools - safety instructions for passengers of various Russian airlines. It is shown that all the requirements of the regulatory documents of international and regional security organizations are formally observed. However, due to the great competition between airlines, they use different concepts for presenting educational information. A number of airlines use postmodern reporting approaches that question the educational effect of the safety instruction.

That paper is motivated by the fact that the development of a joint consumption economy is one of the most significant trends in the modern economy. The object of the study is an array of publications indexed in Scopus and devoted to the analysis of the patterns of development a joint consumption economy (sharing economy) for the period from 2000 to 2019. The study shows a dynamic growth of the number of the publications describing the impact of new digital technologies and digital on-line technological platforms based on the Internet on fundamental changes in the field of individual consumption of households. The analysis of the content of publications of Russian and foreign authors indexed in Scopus database and Russian national bibliographic database (2000-2019) allowed the authors to identify at least the six key areas of modern research of a joint consumption economy. The paper considers each of the six key areas of a joint consumption economy. Authors has predicted the emergence of new areas of research of a joint consumption economy as new trends emerge in the field of individual consumption of modern households in the context of the constant progress of digital technologies.
